Description

With the publication of “Alternadad,” Neal Pollack became the spokesperson for a new generation of parents. Pollack, a self-styled party guy known mostly for outrageous literary antics, recounts how he and his wife became responsible parents without sacrificing their passion for pop culture. From an ill-fated family trip to the Austin City Limits Festival, to yanking his son out of an absurd corporate gymnastics class, to dealing with the child s ongoing biting problem, Pollack captures the wonders, terrors, and idiocies of parenting today. “Alternadad” is both an engaging and amusing memoir of fatherhood, and a fascinating portrait of a new version of the American family.”
